The project period was from Jan 18, 2012 to Dec 31, 2012. According to the result of the survey for waste batteries collectors, the percentage for using plastic containers as storing equipment was 39%, using plastic bags and bulk bags was 44%, and using wood boxes and metal containers was 6%. All their waste batteries storage areas were shielded. In 2011, 39% waste batteries were exported for recycling. There is only one domestic waste batteries recycling plant called Zhi Peng Technology co., Ltd. The battery recycling plant used de-pressure furnace for thermal treatment and it only treated primary Mn/Zn and alkaline battedries. According to the result of the survey for waste lamps collectors, the percentage for using plastic containers as storing equipment was 72%, using metal containers was 14%, and using bulk bags was 14%. Only 94% of their waste lamps storage areas were shielded. For the broken lamps collected, about 37.5% collectors’ broken percentages were between 0～5%, 25% were between 10～15%, and 18.8% were between 20～25%. For the storage period, about 76.9% collectors’ broken percentages were between 0～3%. About Italy ISWA 2012 international solid waste congress in September, the project introduced our producer responsibility and recycling system, described the current condition and subsidy rates for lamps collection and recycling, and emphasized the importance of recycling education. Besides, the draft of fee rates and subsidy rates for waste batteries and lamps had been completed. The testing results for 100 waste batteries samples showed, only 1 sample’s mercury content was 28.5ppm, the others’ were all complied with the standards 5 ppm of both domestic and EU battery directive regulations. The testing result of lamps from 2008 to 2012 showed that there were 106 samples complied with the EU regulation, about 75.7% of total samples. The press conference was hold on 17, Jan. The subject for the conference was lamps breakage prevention. The project provided educational films and the tools for demonstration. The executive principal of the subsidy for the inventing and researching of regulated recyclable wastes collection and recycling was announced on 3, Jan, 2012. The applying documents and references were sent out on 2, Feb. Total 29 units applied, and 15 of them passed the auditing and qualified for the subsidy.
